Printer spontaneously prints when Netgear Armor Security Scans

I am having an issue regarding the Netgear armor security software. Each time it runs a vulnerability scan my printer spits out a few pages saying the following:   HEAD / HTTP 1.1 Host: x.x.x.x:91...

I see a lot of inquiries but I see no solutions. Why is my printer spitting out 3 "User-Agent : curl/7.59.0" pages several times a week?

        I have the same issue.  Is there a solution?

         

        Model: RBK53S-100NAS

        Firmware: V2.3.5.30

        Purchased this Orbi unit at Costco as well and recenty installed it.. I got my first phantom printing recently that supposedly happens when Orbi is installed and perhaps the Armor is activated (which I apparently did).  

         

        How do I get these phantom pages to stop printing this printing to stop?  Printer is a only a few months old - HP OfficeJet Pro 9018 and the firmware/drivers are up to date...

         

        If netgear can't get these pages to stop printing, how do i deactivate the Armor producted deactivated?

         

        Thanks,

      I also have the Orbi router purchased recently from Costco. Can you please update with the solution to this. Lots of wasted paper and ink on 2 different printers!! One printer is an Epson (7100) and the other is an HP Laserjet Pro (M252dw). 

       

      I get the same printouts on each printer as others have stated! Firmware is updated on everything.
